Abstract
In this work, 3D visualization of a work place by means of a computer-made 3D-machine
model and computer animation of a worker have been performed. By visualization
of 3D characters in inverse kinematic and dynamic relation with the operating part
of a machine, the biomechanic characteristics of worker’s body have been determined.
The dimensions of a machine have been determined by an inspection of technical documentation
as well as by direct measurements and recordings of the machine by camera.
On the basis of measured body height of workers all relevant anthropometric measures
have been determined by a computer program developed by the authors. By knowing the
anthropometric measures, the vision fields and the scope zones while forming work
places, exact postures of workers while performing technological procedures were determined.
The minimal and maximal rotation angles and the translation of upper and
lower arm which are basis for the analysis of worker burdening were analyzed. The dimensions
of the seized space of a body are obtained by computer anthropometric analysis
of movement, e.g. range of arms, position of legs, head, back. The influence of forming
of a work place on correct postures of workers during work has been reconsidered
and thus the consumption of energy and fatigue can be reduced to a minimum.
